    Gaps are going to come and go during the treatment. I had a gap open up in between my two front teeth...hated it but had to live with it for about a month until I went back and they put a band on them to bring them back together. That was sooo tight...the gap was gone before I left the parking lot..! Hurt but glad it was gone!

    If you're concerned, give your ortho a call.

    I agree totally with what Candy has written. My ortho had my two front teeth pulled apart, so that they could then move back side by side. I had this amazing gap for a few months, but it was great after those two teeth having been crossed for many, many years!

    Good luck with your future adjustments!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
